-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Summary ======= Configuration file option "RANDFILE" is ignored (on Win32).
Description =========== OpenSSL configuration file may contain option "RANDFILE", which specifies a location of the RNG seed file. OpenSSL (on Win32) erroneously ignores this option and uses a default path of "c:\.rnd" instead. Conversely, environment variable "RANDFILE" is always honored. Example: > openssl rand -base64 -rand extra.rnd 128 will use the following RNG seed: RANDFILE RANDFILE Effective in Config Env variable RNG seed path =========================================================== not set not set c:\.rnd seed.rnd not set c:\.rnd <--- ERROR seed.rnd seed.rnd seed.rnd Platform ======== Windows 2000 Pro SP2 OpenSSL 0.9.6b 9 Jul 2001 built on: Sat Aug 12 20:11:28 2001 platform: VC-WIN32 options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(idx,int) des(idx,cisc,4,long) idea(int) blowfis h(idx) compiler: cl /MD /W3 /WX /G5 /Ox /O2 /Ob2 /Gs0 /GF /Gy /nologo -DWIN32 - -DWIN32_ LEAN_AND_MEAN -DL_ENDIAN -DDSO_WIN32 /Fdout32dll -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.8 iQA/AwUBPACBp3rdGZoPduziEQKBSQCg13nVs9gv8rkyL4xN2TQ9W3I52tQAn0/J LdY7WC5ahjg6fFddO1OEvCT6 =RiuA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
